And, besides, what am I supposed to forget? KunanPoshpora? Asiya and Nilofer? Gawkadal or Bijbehara? Sopore or Shopian? Baramulla or Bandipora? Palhallan…Pathribal…Machhil? Tufail Mattoo or Wamiq Farooq? Inayat or Tahir? Fida or Fancy? These are not mere names. These are not numbers. Each home in Kashmir has witnessed a Karbala of its own. Each person’s dreams have been trampled upon. Fathers have shouldered the coffins of their young sons. Mothers have seen the apple of their eye falling prey to bullets. Should I forget how we all live and die a death each day? Should I forget the families waiting for their ‘disappeared’? Should I forget the half-widows who are constantly fighting the battle between hope and despair? Should I forget that mass graves exist? Should I forget the wailing mother who died waiting for her ‘disappeared’ son to return? Should I forget the destruction they brought upon us simply because they now talk of ‘development’? Should I forget the roads over which they built bridges so that no traces of blood would be visible?
To answer all these questions, YES.
